Mike,

Why shoot for 70%? If you fall a little short on that goal, you fail! It would be like saying that you are only going to polish one shoe. Why not shoot for 100%? You can do it if you try.

Perfection is not attainable, but it makes a nice goal.

Check with the local association first. They might have a class for new officials.

Also, everyone is willing to give advice. Learn who is giving good advice and take it. After you find out who is giving bad advice, act like you are listening to them and smile. Don't make veteran officials look bad in front of others. That never pays off.
